Your recommendations for cost-effective and musical sounding headphones?
This is an honest attempt to restart what was a good conversation earlier that for some reason was dismantled.
My votes are, of course, for headphones I own and enjoy, those being (in no particular order):
Sennheiser HD600
Sennheiser Momentum on ear
Grado SR225e
AKG K240

Grado 225e are 'poor man's' RS-1 - very good.True for audiophile, but for common sense standards it's a-bit too much. For quality standards, for substantially less you can get same or better performance. |
I could say that common sense standard is not to spend less than needed. The difference between Grado 225e and RS-1 is big even when just listening to youtube without external dac/amp. $500 is next to nothing these days. But for most people spending more than $100 would be madness or at least weirdness. Or even more than $50. |
